I own a 99 1/2 Jetta. I need to have the brakes replaced, and unfortunately with my schedule have left them go long enough that the rotors are rubbing. Can I request that the mechanic just replace the brake pads and not the rotors? Does that just mean that I'll wear through the brake pads faster. Know any fair estimates for small repair shop in Pa? Thanks.

If I want to use as little petrol as possible in my car, what (safe) things can I do to use as little petrol as possible? And before you say "don't drive a car" - I have to as part of my job!

Americans are said to have set the highest standards for safety and quality for vehicles, and yet we still think they are relatively unreliabe. Several European car makers have tried to enter the US market, but could not keep up to standards. So, what are the cars like where you live?

I have a weird problem with my A/C unit in my car. I have a older car in which I believe their is a small leak in the a/c unit. Recently, I put coolant (or whatever that stuff is you place in the a/c) into the car.
For some strange reason the A/C blows cold air in the morning hours and late afternoon. It only blows hot air in the mid-afternoon hours (the time I need it the most).
It is to my understanding that the A/C Coils good be to hot for the unit to kick in. The part I am confused about is that if it is 90 degrees in the mid-afternoon and it is 90 degrees in the late afternoon, then why does it only work in the late afternoon?

Any suggestions?

The safety cards always have a picture of the plane floating gently on the sea while passengers leave via the inflatable exit slides. Can a plane make a safe landing in the sea without simply crashing?
